Today, I was up early, 6:00 am in the kitchen. We were hosting a group from Anaheim Vineyard and they were preparing breakfast for the kids in the orphanage. I was there to observe how that is done. I'm learning where things are kept in the kitchen and how to set a the tables for 100 kids of various ages. I'm loving the learning of it all. I have to grab every opportunity that presents itself because it could be a while between groups coming down. Experience is my best teacher.
After we finished breakfast I went back home to get ready for our church service. Now that I've started playing my sax on the worship team I come to church at 9am and the service starts at 10am. When the service started, the pastor wasn't being interpreted. As the service went on it seemed that more Americans started entering the service. A few American guests came late and the pastor stopped and graciously welcomed them. Then he asked DJ to come and interpret what he was preaching. That made it nice for David and me. Tyler went to help out with the little kids. We're thinking it will help him pick up Spanish and also be way for Ty to help out on Sundays.
After the service I typed a questionaire for the kids in the orphanage. Lynette is trying to meet a deadline with needed info. on each kid in the orphanage so I told her I would start interviewing the kids for her to help get her a running start. It was fun for me and good for me to practice my Spanish and it helped me get better acquainted with the kids.
After interviewing about 25 kids, I came in and took a little nap. The early morning was catching up with me and I wanted to be rested before I went back to the church for another worship rehearsal. We're averaging 2 or 3 rehearsals a week right now because we're preparing for a big celebration of the church's anniversary.
